Shopping for the perfect dishwasher is actually pretty easy.
First, you will want to think about the items you absolutely hate about your current and/or broken dishwasher.
Is it too loud, are the dishes not as shiny clean as you would like or is loading it always a nightmare? Also, give some thought to appliance brands in the past that have lasted a long time for you and your family and have worked out great.
Additionally, keep in mind brands that have proven to be nightmares for you and try to avoid those.
Now it's off to the appliance department to shop for your next dishwasher.
Make sure you have that list with you because it will do you no good sitting at home or in your car.
Here he comes? The salesperson that wants to sell you the dishwasher that he either gets a higher commission for selling or the one they have too many of in their current inventory.
The best way to stop him is to say that you are just browsing and if you need help you will find him.
You want him to be quiet immediately because you don't want his personal and "commission" type comments to interfere with your decision.
Yes, you would love to know about any current sales or promotions going on, but that is it.
So, begin looking at the dishwasher section and only the dishwasher section.
You can admire those big fridges on another day.
Most people start at the cheaper end and move up to the top of their budget.
Keep in mind the style you are looking for that will match your kitchen.
Most homeowners, unless going through a hard time, will usually skip over the cheapest one.
I'm sure you could find someone that says they always buy the cheapest one and it works out fine but this one is for your house and fine, might not work for you.
Perhaps you turn on your dishwasher twice a day, so in that case, you need a really good one.
There are lot more styles now available for those dishwashers currently on the market that are two big drawers.
Don't they look great? The idea behind it is energy savings because you can run one drawer at a time for smaller loads.
This type may or may not be for your family.
Another great dishwasher is the type that the upper rack actually adjusts.
Can you just imagine the next time you are loading your dishwasher, something doesn't fit, just adjust the rack? A lot of the newer dishwashers are also much lower to the floor than older versions, thus, if you have back issues or are senior citizen, this type may just be too low for you to be loading and unloading on a regular basis.
You can tell this type because it doesn't have that extra metal faceplate on the bottom of it because the bottom of the door actually goes almost to your floor.
Whatever you decide about your new dishwasher, just take your time and go through your list and select the one that you think will work best for your particular needs.
And, don't forget to order the correct color for your kitchen!
